While technology vigilantes are wondering why this morphing PC made of
magneclay -- an oil based synthetic agent that possesses limitless morphing
capabilities -- is named after an aggressive African Ant called Siafu, designer
Jonathan Lucas is keeping mum about it.
YankoDesigns.com says : " Siafu is a PC designed to give people with vision
loss or impairment a more intuitive computer experience. It lays flat like a
tablet and allows the user to fully interact with it by way of touch. The
surface utilizes a conceptual material called magneclay or magnetized liquid.
This material has the ability to morph upward into any shape via a controlled
electromagnetic field enabling the device to create a braille surface for
reading and even pictures in 3D relief."
Siafu?s magneclay surface morphs into full spread Braille layouts, just like an
e-book reader for the blind, forming a working 9-button Braille keyboard --
with the Braille output allowing the user to conveniently review what they just
typed. Web pages are converted in a bas relief, active text onscreen is
converted into translated Braille relief.
Also, a cute feature: it has a built-in microphone a built-in microphone, an
option to typing: with its high performance voice recognition software , the
user speaks into the mic , and the words are instantly processed into onscreen
Braille relief. Goody.
YankoDesigns.com says: "Lucas?s design gives the blind a fair chance to explore
the world of computers in a limitless way."
